Number 16 is not of the African desert. You provided the proper coordinates but did not bother to check them. It is in Alberta Canada, approximately 35 minutes north of a town called Walsh.
no one said its in the african desert
ya idiot, wtf were u looking at?
yea I’m really curious why you thought is said African desert as well. Tell us!
probably because it DID say African desert back in November, and has since been fixed.
I like your style!
The missile in flight is actually just a jet airliner. Look closely and you see black wings.
If those are wings, they seem a bit short for the body of the plane. And why are they black while the rest is white? Maybe the “wings” are just ground based. Can’t be certain
some airliners (military based even) dont need to really worry about color coordinating, dont you think? i could b shadows or something. or it could be a mystery. regardless, it would make most sence to just be a plane
who cares…its some sort of a flying object, not that serious
No way, there is like no wing, it’s not hard to tell that’s WAY too short of a wingspan to be a plane.
yo anonymous, shut the f up.
it is just a website of cool pictures for people to look at and enjoy. quit taking it so seriously. its people like you that ruin good websites like these.
Why is the body of the plane clear and the “wings” fuzzy, just like the terrain. And, as been mentioned, they’re too small for the body of the plane. It is clearly a Tomahawk cruise missile.
it’s a missile. the wings are actually a shadow cast by the jet that dropped it, if you look closely you can see the tail of it, and how they don’t quite line up
tomahawk missiles have wings and if it is a missile why does it have two con trails…….. its a plane
This is an aerial photo u would see the plane that dropped not just its shadow.
I am sorry to disappoint you but that is a Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) AGM/RGM/UGM-84 Harpoon.
No. The object is too slender and wings are too small to be an aircraft of any sort. Definitely a missile in flight.
Also the if this were a plane the “wings” would need to be closer to the nose to attain lift. Definitely a cruise missile.
yet cruise missile nor any missile I’ve know has dual conrails…
Looks like a live fire for PATRIOT to me. It’s entirely possible. A satellite COULD catch one. I would also highly recommend an eye exam for you. There’s nothing there to indicated any wings in the photo.
Maybe you need the eye exam. If you look closely, there are definitely black extensions (wings) extending further than the white that you can see easily. Both are uniform in length and shape.
That doesn’t look like any airplane I’ve ever seen. Also, If you look about 150ft NNE, you can see the shadow of the plane that dropped this missile. The “black wings” you refer to to are clearly just shadows indicating that the sun must be directly overhead (approximately noon). The imagery was clearly taken by a light aircraft, flying lower than the the jet which dropped the missile. GE uses these lighter planes to gather imagery as close to the surface as possible. These will rarely, if ever, capture images of heavier aircraft which would be flying at higher altitudes. I must cofess that I still have some doubts that that the USAF would drop a missile so close to another aircraft which they would have known was in the vicinity. I therefore welcome any compelling arguments that this may have been a jetplane, though none of the arguments posted herein are sufficiently convincing.
Hey, number 4 only has E/W coordinates. I’m very curious to look at this one myself on google earth, and would highly appreciate it if you could provide the N/S coordinates. It looks to me like ball lightning, which is a very rare and naturally occurring phenomena. I’d be interested (as a physics major!) to investigate that particular photo. It’s rare something like that actually gets caught on camera.
I’ll try to find those for you and post them back here!
#4 is just a row of clouds…
Pretty isolated and straight row of clouds don’t you think…a little too straight.
It’s a camel caravan
It is people walking through the desert holding the reflecting plates above their heads to keep themselves cooler and in shade.
^ this, obviously, you can see it’s people holding reflective plates over their heads.
It’s Argentina. There are no Camels there except in zoos. The repliesr preceeding mine make more sense.
Number 5 is clearly a corn maze.
surrounded by snow? nothing left of corn fields at that time of the year
Clearly a comment from someone not from Colorado. Snows with actual accumulation can fall here in the first days of a given October. Moreover, the folks who do Harvest/Halloween Corm mazes tend not to cut them down until early November, making the likelihood this is just what Mitch said it is a plausible one.
It is indeed a corn maze, Ryden Ranch Maize Maze to be exact.
#15 is in the Nellis AFB Red Flag range and is a representation of a Russian built SA-2 site.
number 6, 13 and 15 are within 15 miles of eachother and if 15 is an air force bomb range i would 6 and 13 also are targets for the bomb range
No. 9 is a wind farm. I found out by looking south of the coords, and found similar structures with pics.
Number 1 is probably the remains of either a Berber family home (they build large, walled compounds for 6-10 related families) or a colonial fort. Note what appears to be a road (with an intersection) about 1/2 mile east.
It’s a location that either the French or British would have been likely to put an outpost.
(Not sure which of them held that territory, but they both used small military outposts overlooking roads/caravan routes to extract their loot — I mean taxes.)
The face on number 16 looks like a face listening to an ipod.
If you go to the actual Google Earth and look closely at the “bizarre triangle” near Vegas, you can see the copyright symbol at the top of the triangle. Some Geek at Google thought it would be funny to superimpose this image in some random spot (happens to be in the same vicinity as Area 51…) in order to fuel conspiracy and alien theories. Just look closely and you can see the formulas for the angles and a copyright symbol.
the one that shows the circle with “Fack!” in it actually says “fachi” which is a town just a few minutes west
Libyan Desert Circles is most likely a cloth processing area. I have seen photo of similar objects that are filled with urea and various chemicals for dyeing and bleaching cloth.
I am willing to bet that #6 is for nuclear weapons testing.
Most of these have to be photoshopped
Download goole Earth and you can find them all for yourself. You may have to use the “historical imagery” function to go back in time to see these pics but they are still there. For instance the “missile”, which I believe it to be, can be seen by going back to April 6, 2006.
Yankee Doodle, stares at the photos, mesmerized as instructed by his great propaganda machine, and fascinated at the surreal the whimsical, he delves into the mysteries of this world. Thusly preoccupied, he can hardly even sense the practical, the realities of his plight, great fatted calves before the Asian sacrificial pits, already heated for them. August 8th this year, U.S. government bids to raise an a redicuously high lending ceiling, to make loans to keep an unsustainable, impossible coca-cola corpocracies “American Dream” alive and well. The government wishes to borrow in excess of the 14 trillion U.S. dollars they already owe, to keep the machine that is so inefficient as to accumulate this kind of debt, alive for one more round of financial follies. Stare at the skies American, even look to Google fantasies, perhaps even consult Tarot cards, or the mysticisms of the ancients. Look even to nano-nonsense and pseudo-sciences you find in your archaic halls of education. Even see the other side of the moon, look upon Mars like voyeurs, and perfect your computer game skills living in artificial fantasies, even explore your inner minds, with dreams! All for naught! Studebaker’s, Hudson’s, Packard’s, Nash’s, Desoto’s, Pontiac’s Oldsmobile’s, no! They did not evolve into Honda’s, Toyota’s, Kia’s, Hyundai’s, Subaru’s! Ask: What role did the coca-cola corpocracy play in this disaster for the American work-force? Ask in Detroit City! Third world in a decade! Google, torrent, the documentary, “Who Stole The Electric Car” and study this well. Where did the quite adequate NiMh batteries go? The easy to mass produce in America NiMh batteries? What happened to the innovative rare earth magnet electric motors in the EV-1 cars? Were their other engineering innovations hidden in the hammer-milled cars? Why destroy the cars? What was hidden? Why?
Stare at the Moon American, Waste powerful computers on frivolities, work your 9 to 5 while it lasts, while the coca-cola corpocracy reams the last value out of your soul out of your country, out of your U.S. dollar! Do not look towards the realities of the moment, blinker yourselves from the bright light of common sense. Look away as the nation is pillaged by the Multi-Nationals. You are right to Avoid the pain.
Want a real trip? Google Thorium reactors – China has them! They are cleaner safer than ours, as Fuckoshima clearly demonstrates! Ask: “Will legacy inertia of the American Uranium based reactor science prevent America from developing Thorium fueled, plutonium free, benign waste product high efficiency reactors – like China does as we speak? As India has pursued these past decades?
stare at the skies Yankee Doodle! Rest on your Laurels, long since tarnished, even surpassed, but in the Mandarin language, beyond your comprehension. China has Electric bullet train networks, complete with electric powered human infrastructures, ready to daisy chin across Eurasian continent. China prepared great empty cities, awaiting expansion! Expansion came! Ford Motor Company, of the U.S.A. has spent over 350 millions of U.S.dollars – a Capital expenditure! in China! on a “Transmission Plant” to build all transmissions used in Ford products, world-wide! Even stock-holders know, this is but a “Pilot Plant” for Ford. Huge empty Chinese cities will soon be filled with Ford workers! Stare at the skies Yankee Doodle! India is next! They want a piece of meat in this sacrifice too! Your meat, you fatted calf, staring out to space!
Wow… someone forgot their meds today…lighten up Francis..
Mwahahahahaaa?
Some of the “mysterious” images have been removed. #consipiracy actually, some of the weird Nevada images or whatever they are can be explained:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_National_Security_Site.
The triangle (#11) is an old set of abandoned runways on Luke AFB in Arizona. Not sure what the above poster is referring to. http://www.airfields-freeman.com/AZ/Airfields_AZ_Phoenix_NW.htm
Nice site though!
The giant USB ports don’t look like that at all. I checked on Google Earth & they look nothing like the picture on here.
Youre right I can’t even find those in the historic imagery. Also, they just seem ludacrisly improbable. I do believe that this is a hoax, but if you check you can see that at least most of the rest are real, though I didn’t bother to check some of the more trivial ones.
I checked them on google maps, they’re just windmills
It look like a leprechaun to mee!!
#14, the one that’s claimed “Mysterious” because it’s a circle with the word “Facki” in it, that’s because it’s in Facki, Niger. Not just because it’s a random cirlce with a random name inside. It actually means something. So it’s not mysterious or creepy at all. & the one with the USB chords don’t even show up. That ones fake. It’s actually just a bunch of windmills.
What about these coordinates: 29.217055,5.88335 Can someone tell me what that is?
Sorry, forgot to explain. It’s just south of Ouargla, Algeria. It’s a weird straught line that is over 10 miles long. Anybody know what it is?
you want to see more of the underwater arrows like that on Number 8? you can start here – 14°02’32.26″ N 123°18’51.43″ E. and here 14°02’58.36″ N 123°18’51.61″ E. actually there are so many arrows in this area. just scan the beaches and you will see lots of underwater arrows.
52.376552,5.198303 for a guy pulling a dead guy into the water
I can’t find the missile in flight
